Giant Floating Bear Skull Costume!

Step 4 Making the mask

Looking at several photos of bear skulls for reference, map out a net onto the mesh. The triangular section in the middle is the approximate location of where the box is going to be. Cut out the mesh but still give yourself plenty of room to play with. Bend the two flaps of the skull so the edges meet and bind them together using wire. Remove the bottom off the box and make holes at equal distances down the sides for the small bar to go through. In the space created by the skull place the box and affix using gaffer and more wire. manipualte the cheeks so they look the way you want and affix the ends to the lower part of the skull. Connect the two parts of the jaw together as seen in the last photo and then trim the lawline so it ressembles a bears - there are lots of molars on the sides so i left them relatively flat and then theres the 2 large canines at the front.
